New to group and admitting

casseymarsh

Hi Everyone,
I am a binge eater and (more than I like to admit)a purger. I have joined this group to gain control over this issue in my life as it has plagued me for too long. I have educated myself so much on nutrition, dieting and fitness over the years in hopes that all my knowlege would help me over-come my binging but has done little except now I bing on extremely healthy foods along with some not-so-healthy foods. I have viewed some of the discussions in this group and find them very insightful and supportive so I feel confident joining.
I wish all of you the best of luck and see you around the discussion board.

Hi Cassey. I'm a newer member of this group and have also found comfort in reading the different discussions. It definitely helps you not to feel so...alone in the struggle. Best of luck to you as well.

I can write a book on the topic Here's one thing I know from reading and through personal experience - don't think of it as something you "control" because that is the root of emotional eating. It is far better to accept (as you have, well done!) and find ways to manage.

I see this as a way of living as one who has binging in her DNA. This part is totally m opinion ad it works for me.

I just had a few nights of bad binging, a relapse after YEARS of no major episodes. I am very disappointed. But I also know that i can shrug it off, get on with my usual workouts. beware of my stress level, etc...and of course, to vent and get support here!

Welcome. It is hard and not everyone understands. You are in good company.

Welcome! This is a great, supportive group! The great thing here is that everyone has struggled in some way or another with binge eating and is working on moving forward. You're not alone!
